something not right here ?

Begbie

Five kids and she has a former brother in law.

Perhaps McCain chose this pro-life/anti-abortion VP to get as many of the Xtian right to the polls as possible. The Xtian right would never vote for Obama, but they might stay home.

And....will some of the 11% of Hillary supporters that were polled saying they'd vote for McCain actually stay with McCain, stay home, or vote for Obama.

Hard to say. It may not even be important. But it's something to think about.

Or all the white vote who says they will vote for Obama, actually don't and vote for McCain.

On July 11, 2008, Palin dismissed Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan and offered him a position as executive director of the state Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, which he turned down.[50][51] Her power to fire him is not in dispute, but Monegan alleged that his dismissal may have been an abuse of power tied to his reluctance to fire Palin's former brother-in-law, Alaska State Trooper Mike Wooten, who had been involved in a divorce and child custody battle with Palin's sister, Molly McCann.[52]
Palin replaced Monegan with Chuck Kopp, dismissing as false allegations that Kopp had sexually harassed a subordinate.[53]
After initially refusing to explain her decision to fire Moneghan, in August Palin explained that she had done so because he had not adequately filled state trooper vacancies, and because he "did not turn out to be a team player on budgeting issues." According to Palin, Moneghan's dismissal was thus unrelated to the fact that he had refused to fire Wooten.[54] Palin said that members of her staff had made contact with public safety officials regarding the trooper, though she said that her staff's contacts with the commission were not directed by her and she had little knowledge of them. She also took disciplinary action against one member of her staff who had mentioned her and Wooten's family connection to Monegan's staff.[55] In August 2008, a bipartisan panel of the Alaska Legislature hired Steve Branchflower to investigate Palin and her staff for possible abuse of power surrounding the dismissal.[56] Democratic State Senator Hollis French, who is overseeing the investigation, says that the Palin administration has been cooperating and that subpoenas are unnecessary.[57]

Wikpedia is very up to date. Someone from the republican camp must have been busy.

He is the former husband of her sister.

It may have escaped people's notice, but, having a woman head of state isn't a novelty in the rest of the world, both in first world countries and third world countries.

Wasn't Geraldine Ferraro a VP running mate?
This Palin woman would only be making history if the Republicans won. A bit more history if McCain died in office.

A bottle of wine and a lot of fun responding to the posts of the TD Libs easy mistake to make..but what the f*** it must be a hell of a journey..must put on my want to do list before I'm 70

Carnwadrick

But the Ferraro woman has nothing on the "Alaskan Fox".
Scare the shit out of the Muslims if McCain died, a tough woman President (not the aspirin factory bombing type) will make them crap in their jalabas (sp?)

blackgang

No not Unique, but still a DARLIE, which sets with the reverse racists.

Carnwadrick

??? I'm a dummie here, what is a DARLIE?

mackayae

Yes. She is being investigated for trying to have her ex brother-in-law fired. He is a state trooper.
However, in her defense, she was the one who got him the job. Of course, that was before he was the ex.

buriramboy

She's an evil woman who wants to kill polar bears according to this......

AntRobertson

Not much of a defence; she pulled strings to get him a job and then - I'm presuming this is after he split with her sister - has tried to influence others to give him the sack.

The nepotism and undue-influence double. Wonder what she'll do for the tri-fecta?

What's the situation if McCain pegs out before the election ?

pai nai ma

The repubs would have to scramble to field a candidate.

or --

They would prop him up in chair with a drink in his hand and surround him with britmaverick-esque sycophants.

Wouldn't have a link for this would you?
